Steph Curry once again showed the world why he should be considered one of the greatest offensive players in NBA history, as the Golden State Warriors improved to 9-1 on the season with a win over the Atlanta Hawks. The former unanimous MVP dropped 50 points and 10 assists, thus continuing his excellent start to the 2021-2022 campaign and securing another victory for the Warriors.

Even after more than a decade in the league, Steph Curry has continued to break records and put up ridiculous numbers that could help Golden State return to championship contention this season. Indeed, after their win over the Hawks, the Warriors boast the best record in the NBA and with Stephen Curry making plays and breaking records, only time will tell how far this team can go.
